Teslas Triumphant: A TH9 Design and Case by Richard

*sees base, takes screenshot to copy later and hits next*

Looks great. Would try if I get really bored one day and want to re-do my entire base. Funneling looks good. Only thing I would swap around more are the stuff outside the base, move around to mix up the hitpoints of army camps/barracks/collectors/mines.

Nice base Richard, as usual. I've built it and will go up to 1800-1900 this week to test it. Since I'm also well underway to maxing TH9, the usual farm range doesn't need a particulary great base anymore. But like you say, those few attackers that do pack a punch (mostly avengers) should be deterred as well. I'll keep you posted.

One more thing though. It's a compact base again (which you like obviously). It leaves no room for effective springtraps and big bombs in the 2nd ring/core vs. hogs that one might encounter at higher ranges. Also the red balloons should ideally be more centered for maximum effectiveness against minions.

I'm hoping you might try your hand at a more 'breathing' layout next time, since you obviously have a talent for designing.

Thanks again!

Excellent base design. Love how the effective Tesla's are being put to use.

Have seen many bases with neglected Tesla's (upgrade wise) and left on the outer core of the base.

Might just use this in the future when my base is fully upgraded.

Nice design, Richard!

Richard, great work, again! :cool:

I really love the design itself, and the building placement is so well thought out! For example: I bet 70 % of all base designers on here would place the defences in the funnels where you currently have your drills, but then the giants would not target them and get lured ;)

Otherwise, not much to say, exept that you rock (:rolleyes:),

Hmmm, I really don't know. My Loaded Die is certainly more tested and is probably still my flagship design, however, I hope this new design will open up a whole new aspect to layouts in the future. I'll see how well it does under more testing until I can come to a verdict ;)

Thanks Childish, I am a great fan of your layout, having two wizards and two mortars per gold storage is insane!

For TH8, I've used centralised tessla for some time, in fact ever since TH7 I've had tessla as a core part of my defenses. I'm usually pushing high in the trophies, so packing as many of the biggest baddest tessla I can, into my most vital area, makes a huge difference, especially when most of your raiders have level 6 giants, etc - level 6 splash vs level 6 giants just doesn't cut it.

---

Yes, the main advantage of splash is against multiple tier one troops but once you go against healer giant/golem armies, they will not do enough damage. Glad to hear your positive experiences with centralised teslas :)

Thanks for the kind words Kim, I hope you enjoy the layout :)

I wasn't thinking about dps, I just thought, if he were here with farming troops, the wizard tower would be best at use to be able to hit stuff on the outer wall. And single target teslas can't help at all with mass gobs or mass BAM attacks.

If he came to destroy my base with heavy units, wizard towers won't be that important and the teslas would be the thing I want to protect.

So summarizing those two reasons, I see Wizard towers best fit in the middle ring and teslas best fit in the core.

P.S. (edit) My hidden worry about this theory is that there will be compartments where mortar and wizard towers are in together. Yeah mine has that too. I'm still ongoing brainstorming bases sometimes with pen paper, or on Excel secretly at work (giggle), or CoC builder when I'm at home sometimes to find that perfect base.

---

I like that core, it looks like a very balanced design. Wizards and mortars together aren't ideal but against most attackers it won't be too big of a problem, however, I understand the need to perfect a layout ;)

Yes, they do take a while don't they? I was like c'moon! when my lvl 7s were upgrading. They sure are worth it though :)

Thanks Jess, I wasn't thinking about the outside building placement, perhaps I should try evening the hitpoints out a little.

Thanks for the feedback and for testing it out :) I did make this design a little too compact didn't I, lol. The junctions seemed to fit together a little too well and I was a bit short of space for those air bombs. Perhaps I will try my hand at expanding it a bit later.

Thanks TE, you rock :) The funnels might still need adjusting, but when they work, the giants go flying. It's just so funny to watch :')

This is going to seem weird OP, but i lighting'd your base for 1.6k DE two days ago lol...
